Does anyone know of a way to remove the registered focus point on the 1DX?

thanks,

Sure, to register the AF point; press the AF Point Selection button and ISO button simulatenously.

To un-register the AF point, press the AF point Selection Button and the +/- exposure compensation button (which is next to the ISO button) simultaneously.

No problem.., the blinking was annoying the heck out of me!!

Yes!!! And this past weekend I caught myself confusing the reg. point for my manually selected point!

Out of ignorance since I haven't shot 1D bodies before, what's a registered focus point?

You can register a custom point on the camera and assign a button to it. So, you can quickly pull that point up to have focus ready when need be. The problem with the 1DX set up is it stays illuminated when you're selecting a manual point and it can be annoying to say the least.

Ah, ok. Nice feature Maybe they'll get around to adding a firmware option for those that don't like that behavior?
